> In this project, the cause of the exception is often ignored, and only the 
> message of the cause is used, as in:
> } catch (Exception e) {
>     log.error("Error in configuration: {}", e.toString());
>     throw new ServletException("Error in configuration: " + e.toString());
> }
> An additional problem is that when using ServletException(String message, 
> Throwable rootCause), the rootCause is not used in printStackTrace(), that 
> means the cause is not logged. See also: 
> http://closingbraces.net/2007/11/27/servletexceptionrootcause/
> It is therefore better to convert 
>   throw new ServletException("Unable to create RMI repository. jcr-rmi.jar 
> might be missing.", e);
> to
>   ServletException s = new ServletException("Unable to create RMI repository. 
> jcr-rmi.jar might be missing.");
>   s.initCause(e);
>   throw s;
